Lawrence Taylor arrested for rape

NY Giants football hero Lawrence Taylor was charged with rape of an underage girl today. Here’s another thug that our sports crazy culture worships. Bread & circuses.

LA replies:

By coincidence (or whatever), I heard the name Lawrence Taylor last night for the first time in years, in the movie “The Blind Side,” a true story about a housewife, played by Sandra Bullock, who adopts a homeless black teenager who goes on to become a professional football player. I’ve seen the first half of it so far, and like it. The movie is not, at least primarily, “liberal.” It’s a human story.
